Sorry but every local band around here just screams. Give me real singing any day. Sure, some screams are cool and even doing small ones can add effect to a song, but when that is ALL a band does, I just can't take it seriously.

yeah i absolutley love metal but im very picky. my area is usually the 80's bands who are still going today. Judas Priest. Iron Maiden, Metallica etc. however its ridiculous to restrict yourself as i also list green day and the living end in my top 10 bands. hell i would put the stray cats up there too. not too fond of that black metal crap. its just noise to me, i dont care how hard the riffs may actually be
